    Will he turn up at the funeral in full kit?

    Yep fair play, I'm more than critical of him usually but he's done good there.

    It is hard to criticise Terry in this instance but........if I were the family, I would tell him where to stick his money. Some things are worth more than money and a little child's funeral is one such thing. Just my opinion.

    Fair play to him.......but the only thing that I find a tad odd is that a "family friend" of the parents contacted him in Instagram asking him if he would like to contribute to the costs of the funeral.......erm.....why would they do that? It kind of put him in a very awkward position in that he probably felt compelled to to do this.........not saying he didn't do it out of kindness........

    The reason JT did this is not important, that fact that he did is. Well done John Terry.

    I guess a nice gesture though. Perhaps the family didn't have the money to provide their child with a proper funeral?

    Based on JT's reported £150,000/week salary, £1600 would be just under 2 hours of his time based on £892/hr earned.

    Some positive publicity for him, so good ROI no doubt.

    This explains the dilemma I'm sure many of us are facing on reading this news. Well put.

    Guys, it's a kind gesture and I suspect made with no expectation of return (he does not need it!) so well done him.

    I put a pound in a beggar's paper cup and then I molested some children. About the same? At least give me the credit of being extremely generous.
